07-Ghost Episode 4

Something has been bugging me. If I'm not wrong, Mikage has no idea where Teito is. So, why in the hell is Ayanami torturing him? (v.v) Poor Mikage! I wonder what kind of Zaiphon has been casted on him by Ayanami.

Compared to Mikage, Teito is much luckier. Again, he's rescued by Frau, Castor and Labrador. It's cool to see them work together to defeat the Kor and save the old man's soul. Their different abilities and weapons seem to complement one another.

Mini Summary
The old man promises to grant Teito's wish but in exchange, Teito has to give up his soul. Teito's wish is to meet Mikage. When his wish is about to be 'granted', the flower given by Labrador glows and protects Teito's heart from being devoured by darkness. At the same time, Frau, Castor and Labrador appear. The old man is actually possessed by a Kor. Jointly, Frau, Castor and Labrador manage to defeat the Kor and save the old man's soul. Frau also manages to remove the mark left by the Kor on Teito's chest.

The next day, Teito sees Castor and asks him what a Kor is. Castor explains that the Kor serve Verloren and grant humans their wishes in exchange for their souls. The Kor will then possess their victims and try to bring more into their ranks as they await for the return of Verloren. It's the job of the Church to protect people from the Kor. Castor then asks Teito to keep what happened the previous night a secret and before he walks away, he asks Teito what his dream is. Teito is taken aback by the question and does not have an answer straightaway. However, after some thinking, Teito realizes what his dream is.

Meanwhile, in military school, Mikage is still under interrogation. To force Mikage to cooperate with the military, Ayanami invites Mikage's sister to the military school. Thinking that Mikage has chosen to protect his family, Ayanami's subordinate frees Mikage. However, it turns out that Mikage has chosen to protect Teito as he believes his family will understand his decision and will not want him to betray his best friend. He declares to Ayanami that his dream, which is exactly the same as Teito's, is to protect his best friend. He swears that he will keep the oath he made with his best friend and will never abandon his best friend. Ayanami is infuriated by Mikage's decision and casted a Zaiphon on him.

Cross Game Episode 4

Seems like Kou's rival in baseball has appeared. He's the guy with the garfield eyes. I wonder what kind of a relationship/rivalry will Kou and this guy share.

My favorite part in this episode is the part where Akaishi tells Kou about Wakaba's dream. Even though years have passed, one can still feel the love Kou and Akaishi have for Wakaba.

Mini Summary
While in a train, on her way to school, Aoba notices a burglary taking place. After the train stops, she immediately runs towards the house. When she reaches the house, she finds Kou already outside the house and pretending to be a policeman. The burglar jumps out of the window and tries to escape. Kou passes a baseball to Aoba. Without hesitation, Aoba throws a fast ball at the burglar. Senda happens to be around and he's mistaken as the hero. Senda's 'brave' act is published in the newspaper, and in school, he gains attention from everyone because of that. The husband of the victim also drops by the school to give him a box of cakes. However, Akaishi realizes that Aoba is the real hero and takes the cakes away from Senda and passes them to Aoba. When Akaishi asks Aoba why she has a baseball with her, she reveals that Kou reached the victim's house before she did and he was the one who threw the ball to her.

After that, Nakanishi approaches Akaishi and tells him about Kou's intention to join the baseball team. Akaishi agrees to take over Kou's training but he wants to keep the training a secret until they are officially in high school and he also wants Nakanishi to return to the baseball team.

At the Tsukishima batting center, an unknown boy is breaking Kou's home run record but complaining about how slow the pitching machines are. The boy later appears in the high school which Kou will be studying at. It seems like he'll be joining the same high school.

Kou's secret training with Akaishi begins. As Kou is practicing pitching with Akaishi, Akaishi tells him about the dream Wakaba had the night before she left for swimming camp. She told him about it the next morning when she bumped into him on her way to the swimming camp. In her dream, she saw Kou playing as a pitcher, Akaishi playing as catcher and Aoba playing as a centerfielder at Koushien Stadium. Though Akaishi knew that he's not the main lead in her dream, he's more than happy to know that he's part of her dream. It's because of what she said that motivated him to become a catcher. After hearing about Wakaba's dream, Kou looks more determined to play baseball.

Bleach Episode 217

Cuuhlhourne is seriously ugly!! It's funny to see Yumichika and Cuuhlhourne arguing over who is uglier, even though it's obvious who really is uglier. Like Yumichika, I couldn't stop laughing when I see Cuulhlhourne's released form. There's only one word to describe him: UGLY! The only beautiful thing about Cuuhlhourne I can think of is his attack 'Rosa Blanca'.

I like Yumichika's real Zanpakutou's name - Ruriiro Kujaku. It's way cooler than Fuji Kujaku. The way it feeds on the opponent's reiatsu is amazing. I'm so glad to see Cuuhlhourne defeated. He's plain irritating.

Mini Summary
Yumichika vs Charlotte Cuuhlhourne

The winner is Yumichika!! Yay! Real Beauty wins!

Who's uglier? What's there to argue? The answer is so obvious!


According to Yumichika, Cuuhlhourne's hair looks like seaweed. (Agree!!)


According to Cuuhlhourne, Yumichika's hair looks like a toadstool. (Agree too! LOL)


The real fight begins!


Yumichika manages to cut Cuuhlhourne's 'beautiful' hair and p*ssed him off.


'Reina de Rosas' - Cuuhlhourne's released form. (hahi.. ero hito!)


LOL ROFL



With his released form, Cuuhlhourne becomes stronger and faster.


Yumichika is no match for Cuuhlhourne.



'Rosa Blanca' - Cuuhlhourne's most beautiful and cruel attack.


Yumichika is trapped inside the rosebush and no one can see him nor sense his reiatsu.


Since no one can see him, Yumichika decides to unleash the true powers of his Zanpakutou. 'Split and deviate, Ruriiro Kujaku'


Badass looking Yumichika!


The vines are feeding on Cuuhlhourne's reistsu and when..


the flowers on the vines bloom, it's all over for Cuuhlhourne.
